I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A SAFE NIGHT! HERE IS ALITTLE HISTORY I BET YOU DIDNT KNOW! GOOD NIGHT. In medieval Britain, “supplicants moved from door to door asking for food in return for a prayer for the dead,” and they would carry “hollowed-out turnip lanterns, whose candle connoted a soul trapped in purgatory.” some of the Celts wore ghoulish costumes so that wandering spirits would mistake them for one of their own and leave them alone. Others offered sweets to the spirits to appease them. In medieval Europe, the Catholic clergy adopted local pagan customs and had their adherents go from house to house wearing costumes and requesting small gifts. https://youtube/watch?v=dHQZErtwA3E
